A 2021 paper which constructs a policy framework for supporting the greening of employment and a 'just transition' across the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). [Originally posted at https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/13/13/7389]
A 2022 study which uses South Africa as a reference case study to deconstruct the Just Transition Transaction (JTT) and develops a framework of necessary and conducive features for its application to other countries. The authors then use this framework to evaluate the JTT’s suitability for supporting a green transition in key South-East Asian countries, specifically Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines.

A 2017 study which provides an overview of different 'just transition', energy transformation and climate justice discourses, presents a set of just energy transition principles and applies them to evaluate climate policies of 12 Global South countries.

A 2022 report which first uses South Africa as a reference case study to deconstruct the JTT and develop a framework of necessary and conducive features for its application to other countries. The authors then use this framework to evaluate the JTT’s suitability for supporting a green transition in key South East Asian countries, specifically Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines. They find that, while the JTT is suitable for Indonesia and Vietnam, it is not as suitable for the Philippines. Finally, they present a tiered JTT as a model to encourage a green transition at a supranational level and propose avenues for specific research to apply the JTT to Indonesia and Vietnam.

A 2019 study which analyzes the employment impacts of various scenarios for expanding electricity generation in Vietnam’s power sector. [Originally posted at https://www.cobenefits.info/resources/future-skills-and-job-creation-through-renewable-energy-in-vietnam/]
A 2022 report which investigates the following questions: How intensively should it work to adapt to previous and predicted damages caused by climate change, given the uncertainty of global mitigation efforts? How much will it cost to reduce GHG emissions? How can the private sector be mobilized to help achieve Vietnam’s climate goals? Are there trade-offs between adaptation and mitigation investments? Are there trade-offs between economic growth, poverty reduction, and climate action, and how can they be managed? Which sectors and regions should be prioritized? What are the distributional implications of a low-carbon, climate-resilient growth path? [Originally posted at https://reliefweb.int/report/viet-nam/vietnam-country-climate-and-development-report]

A 2019 book summary which presents visions of regenerative and redistributive economies, built with collective power: from the thriving cooperative economy in Kerala, India, to the hundreds of local saving banks in Germany, the worker-owned bank Banco Popular in Costa Rica, and the thousands of People’s Credit Funds in Vietnam. It explores models that could become the new normal—the basis for a democratically organized and life sustaining future. [Originally posted at https://www.tni.org/en/publicfinance]

Covid-19 and a Just Transition in India's Coal Mining Sector The COVID 19 pandemic hit India hard in early 2020, with negative GDP growth and a surge in unemployment. In the energy sector, coal fired power generation was already under pressure from overcapacity, low electricity demand growth, and increasingly competitive renewables.
Considerations for a Just and Equitable Energy Transition As the energy transition accelerates, it is our responsibility, it is our opportunity, to ensure that in addition to contributing to a healthy planet by replacing fossil fuels with clean energy sources, this is accomplished in a just and equitable manner providing prosperity for all.
